Taylor was professional, as always. The job was completed in a timely manner. He explained what work would be accomplished . He briefed me on the work when it was accomplished. Lightning Bug Electric is our “go-to” company for our electrical needs.
Gabrielle and Griffin were very professional and great communicators.
Aaron (and Braeden) did a spectacular job replacing my electrical panel, breakers and running a new circuit. After initial inspection, he gave multiple levels of options to fix my problem, and explained each well. I felt I got the upgrades I needed to be safe and up to code while not overspending. He was thorough…
Electrician was very professional.
We called Lightning Bug to bring our daughter’s new home up to date. There were many issues left by the previous owners. I asked for Steve, who had worked on my house. Steve did an excellent job. He and his helper Cairo did a thorough inspection. He made recommendations, and we chose a whole house upgrade. Steve…
Thank you to the Lighting Bug team for coming onsite and going the extra mile to get the project completed. Leo and Eddie, you are both amazing workers. Really enjoyed the positive attitude that you both brought to make this tedious project enjoyable and fun.
Lightening Bug Electric came to do a multitude of jobs at my home. The rates are extremely reasonable. Steven and Hunter were great! They were so professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I can’t say enough about them. I will definitely recommend this company!
The workers were professional and updated us the progress of the work. Work was completed as promised. I was pleased with the service provided.
Are you kidding, this is the first time I had anyone work on my house and these guys were so professional, quick and hard working. Easily the best money I have ever spent. Thanks Griffen and Jamal.
Steve literally saved my house from burning down! I bought a house two months ago and my inspector did a horrible job. I had to have my whole house re-piped and the plumbers noticed the electrical wasn’t up to code. Steve jumped right on it and immediately found a breaker that was burning. He changed out my…
We recently engaged several companies to get some quotes for some long overdue work, and Lightning Bug was fantastic to work with. Bryson came out took a look at things, and was able to explain in clear terms what he felt would be best, and why. He walked us through what to expect the 'day of' so we were well…
Finally a service business that treats you well! This company has the friendliest technicians I've ever been in contact with! They keep you up to date with anything that happens with your services and are always honest about exactly what you need to get you a fair price. I've never had a bad technician; they're so…
There are many choices to select from when it comes to hiring a company to help with electrical work, however there’s only one that I’ve found that provides a memorable experience, Lightning Bug Electric! The entire team at Lightning Bug Electric is always helpful from the initial call to after the job, however our…
Jeremiah and Don were very friendly, helpful and thorough. They were conscientious and seemed genuinely concerned about our safety.. Their work was already tested by a lightening strike which resulted in no electrical damage.
Best electric company I've had the pleasure of using. They were fast,efficient, patient, and willing to work with my budget. Will be using them for all projects going forward for sure.
The team from LBE was amazing. I'm a former contractor. It's great to see real professional tradesmen that hold themselves and the quality of their work to higher standards than even those required by code. They upgraded the service and rewired my 1962 model home which I knew was not going to be an easy project.…
Service technician Dakota is a highly skilled and personable professional
I've been using Lightning Bug for all of my electrical needs since 2016, when I lived in Dunwoody. They've always gone above and beyond, Bobby and James and Josh in particular, even coming out when I moved to Lilburn before it was technically part of their service area! Most recently they did a bunch of work on my…
Steven was great. He inspected, talked with us about the problem(s) and explained carefully. He was ready to do the work. We are happy we went with Lightning bug.
Excellent work. Fast and professional
Cale Y and his helpers were great! I will definitely be using Lightening Bug Electric again for all of my future electrical needs. They were professional, extremely knowledgeable, went above and beyond, and also left the house very clean. I highly recommend this company!
Had an urgent issue at my house. LBE was able to send electricians out the same day. Justin and Del were very professional and did a great job. Installed two ground rods, added a surge protector and corrected a panel issue. Did great work and left the property like they found it. The house ground was lost when my…
Since day one Lightning Bug Electric has shown to deliver excellent service but Justin has gone above and beyond to meet my needs and make me feel that I had made the right choice when I picked them to work on my new home addition. Thank you Justin.
James and Coleman are amazing! Their expertise and professionalism is much appreciated.
Tech was knowledgeable and gracious with suggestions.
Dealing with this company was a real pleasure. The electricians were professional, pleasant and hard working. They brought in extra help to complete the job in one day and worked late in order to do that. Very happy
Best service!
Justin is very good at his job not only that he is extrimly nice person, I will never have any one do my electric except him from now on, Justin Is the very best You have him do anything electricol and you will never have any one else. Thanks Justin
Had to re-ground the house after replacing the plumbing, they came out when they said they would and got it done quick.
Justin is an awesome tech. He went above and beyond to help my mom with all her electrical needs. Justin knows his stuff and he has a great sense of humor.
Justin installed a whole house surge protector, added ground wiring for some recent plumbing we had done, and did a whole home inspection review with us. He was professional and courteous! Was glad we used Lightning Bug Electrical. We signed on as a lifetime member so they will be who we call for all our electrical needs.
The electrician Sam does a Great job! Knows what he's talking about. Very professional when he arrives... They're in/out - Tim the owner makes sure he gets you serviced immediately ... Good Electricians aren't easy to find... I would highly recommend This Company and their service Guy Sam... Tim works to get the issue fixed in a timely manner... Charla
Replaced an electrical panel, added new grounding and new outlets.
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a skills trade contractor. They were prompt in their response and completing the job in a timely fashion. Nothing less than professional. I highly recommend them.
Needed my water heater replaced and the plumber that did the work noticed my house was not grounded properly. He recommended Lightning Bug Electric. Jacob came out and explained everything that needed to be done. Went to work quickly and cleaned up after the job was finished. Quality work.
I tend to be skeptical of any company I find online without recommendations, but this group went above and beyond my expectations. I knew buying an older house electrical work was needed. Not only did Lightning Bug solve the issues listed on my inspection, they also looked over the wiring to see if additional…
Stephen and Cody were absolutely awesome in giving me a great quote and repair. I had received a quote from another company for the same project and Stephen/Cody saved me LOTS of money. Very professional, helped me understand everything that needed to be done, gave suggestions on other things that needed to be done…
